"If you are struggling to thrive and experiencing worry, sadness, guilt, or shame you do not have to manage these feelings alone. Whether you are going through a new transition in your life or you have ongoing stress, therapy is a place where we can work together to help you feel better and be able to experience more joy and fulfillment in your life."

"Therapy should be as individualized as the people seeking help. Interventions can range from traditional talk therapy to integration of arts modalities to address complex challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to find the most effective approach for their unique needs and situation. Therapeutic influences come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and music therapy. Client challenges can include anxiety, depression, pain management, adjustment to medical illness or disability, relationship problems, communication difficulties, self-expression (including artistic blocks), grief and loss issues."

"I am passionate about emotions. All of us are full of them. The emotions we carry with us as individuals, as well as, what we bring into relationships can be powerful and challenging. I also understand that each of us carries with us an emotional heritage that is unique and has served as a means to support, protect, and empower each of us."

"Wanting to make a change and move forward, but feeling stuck? It is often difficult to get a good grasp of your experience when you have a lot on your mind. Sometimes it gets in your way of a wish to change. It can be challenging to be kind and gentle to yourself as well as to your feelings at a time. These experiences often make one feels stuck. I believe, increasing awareness and understanding of experience(s) will help you to gain alternative perspectives that would help you to no longer feel stuck and/or afraid."

"As the partner affected by the addictive behavior of a loved one, you often find yourself asking what you can do to help them? You have tried many approaches, but none have been long-lasting. Your loved one's addictive behavior is unpredictable, and you are fearful it might get worse. You love your partner, but not their addictive behavior. Reaching out for help can be scary, as you want to be sure that you find a counselor that you can connect with and one that understands addictive behavior."

"Through my training and experience I developed an expertise in helping people of various back grounds move through life transitions. I believe our present is highly influenced by our past experiences, therefore understanding our life experiences and taking the responsibility to change our present is the ultimate goal in therapy."

"Individuals and couples who seek my help are caught in ruts that foster anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and mutual distrust. They may have chronic health problems such as headaches, digestive problems or fibromyalgia. They are people who want to become more resilient or couples who want to be friends again. For over 25 years I have integrated the science of psychology with the art of psychotherapy to achieve these goals.I will help you break out of intractable patterns and discover better ways of being with yourself and relating to others."

"From time to time, we all have the sense that something has gone awry in our lives, and I am privileged to work with folks to help get things sorted out. With adults, I have a psychodynamic, insight-oriented perspective to focus on relationships and agency. With young children, I use a dyadic developmental model and focus on attachment and trauma issues that impact relational and behavioral change. I tend to be collaborative, lighthearted, and engaged with my clients, helping them make meaning of the difficulties presenting in their lives, and moving forward with solutions for positive and enduring change."

"For over 20 years, I've worked with individuals and couples struggling with relationship problems, challenging life transitions like mid-life crises, job stress, grief and loss, and living authentically.

I listen deeply to really understand you as we work to transform your issues. I offer sessions in my Seattle office, by phone, or by Skype."

"Hello! My name is Bart Ozretich and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work from the University of Washington. I am also dually designated as a Child Mental Health Specialist and an Ethnic Minority Mental Health Specialist. My passion and strength is working with diverse individuals and families. I offer an eclectic approach to mental health - grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Family Systems. My focus is on finding a mindful path through difficult times and experiences in collaboration with clients."

"I have learned almost everything of importance about mental health from working with my patients. Though I consider that I had excellent training, as with many things in life, nothing prepared me for the intensity of my patients' life-stories. It was a trial by immersion, but as with such journeys, it was also one of discovery. Patients set before me stories of grief, longing, despair, addiction, obsession, but also of surprise, joy, and abundance. At times, they were overtaken by the force of events swirling around them, losing their bearings and sense of agency."

"Through my experience of being a therapist I have come to believe that people change and grow through acceptance of where they are coupled with increasing awareness of areas in their lives which concern and/or constrain them. I work by listening carefully to my clients, seeking to understand their experience, and assisting them to be who they are while also helping them to shed or work with habits and patterns which are limiliting them. I believe I am well-suited to being a therapist and I find the work very fulfilling."

"I utilize Heart-centered Hypnotherapy to access the incredible power of the subconscious mind to aid in healing addictions, create the mindset and habits for weight release, and heal past trauma that can be impacting health and wellbeing."

"As a clinical therapist, I help people who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression and loss. I teach my clients to practice what I call "the reverse golden rule": treat yourself as you would treat others! We are often so critical of ourselves, while with a friend we would be kind, supportive, compassionate. My 20+ years of experience have given me the tools to work using an eclectic approach that I tailor to each client. I offer a comfortable, safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, where you can feel heard, understood and validated."

"Have you've come to a crossroad and know your life cannot stay the same? I offer a safe space to slow down and take an inventory; a place for you to do the work that will lead to change. Tuning to your inner wisdom is a first step. I provide support, patience, encouragement, homework, and challenges along the way to help you meet your goals. You are the expert of your life. At the core of my philosophy is a deep belief in our ability to heal."

"Sometimes life is difficult and it can be hard to know which way to turn. When you are struggling, feel stuck or are in pain, therapy can help. I work with adults seeking support during times of grief and loss or with other times of transition, those living with the effects of complicated trauma or with general feelings of anxiety, restlessness, sadness and/or depression. Depending on you and your goals, our work together may include practical solutions, traditional talk therapy, mindfulness practices or Somatic Experiencing. Most often some combination of all of these is helpful."

"What is the story of your life? your marriage? your family? Our stories have great power. Who we are and what we do are influenced by the stories we tell about ourselves. While we can't always change the stories others have about us, we can influence the stories we tell about ourselves and about the ones we love. Working with youth and young adults, with families, couples and individuals of all ages, I have seen the power of story to heal trauma, to strengthen families, to restore hope, and to facilitate growth. Call me--let's unlock that power."
